4.0 out of 5 stars Not your standard-issue capoeira album!
A strikingly varied set of songs based on the beat and boing-boing-boing of Bahia's homegrown martial arts form, capoeira. This is a much richer and more melodic set than most capoeira albums, which tend to stick to the rhythms and can get a little repetitious. Here, by contrast, artists from throughout the world modernize and play around with this distinctive sound --...

3.0 out of 5 stars not for training
The music on this cd is not designed for training or playing Capoeira. It is more like different artist paying tribute to the traditional music of Capoeira. The music in most cases is a blend of African rhythyms and R&B grooves. If you like internationl music, this cd is a good addition to your collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your standard-issue capoeira album!, January 8, 2003
This review is from: The Capoeira Project - Capoeira Mata Um (Audio CD)
A strikingly varied set of songs based on the beat and boing-boing-boing of Bahia's homegrown martial arts form, capoeira. This is a much richer and more melodic set than most capoeira albums, which tend to stick to the rhythms and can get a little repetitious. Here, by contrast, artists from throughout the world modernize and play around with this distinctive sound -- there's fairly traditional material, mixed in with funk, samba, techno and pop stylizations... there's even one improbable free jazz track! This album is both challenging and a lulling delight to hear... Recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars Ugh!, June 8, 2008

This review is from: The Capoeira Project - Capoeira Mata Um (Audio CD)
I really dislike this CD. The music is dull and much of it is computer-generated. It dramatically lacks crispiness both in the sounds and the melodies. Many songs can hardly be called capoeira: it's a big minestrone of rap, funky, techno, salsa with the capoeira being barely detectable in the backgroud. It definately cannot be used fo training.
